Travelling

I’m now back in England again after an eventful year abroad, I’ve really enjoyed living in France and Spain! I would recommend doing a year abroad to everyone,it has allowed me to find out more about myself, given me the opportunity to develop my language skills and most importantly it gave me the chance to […]

Hello! I’ve been really busy at uni recently, so many classes and exams are coming up soon 🙁 but anyways, I thought I’d write a blog about improving a language abroad because I think it’s really important to be able to communicate with local people and to also feel at ease, like at home! […]

Semana Santa (Easter) is now coming to an end and classes start again for me on Tuesday:( but I’ve had a really great break and explored many new places! I went to Madrid for 4 days where I stayed with my friend and his family, his family were very welcoming and we ate some typical […]

Seems strange to say that my Erasmus experience in France has come to an end, it hasn’t fully sunk in yet. I’m currently still on my Christmas holidays and start my next adventure in Spain this February. In this blog I’d like to bring to an end my blogs on France and share with you […]

Avignon is known as a city of culture, it’s not a big place but there’s plenty of museums, theatres and cultural events. In the University planner (that I got given upon arrival), it has a card called the ‘Patch Culture’ and it’s for students to be able to get discounts and to go and visit […]

Hello, I’m back! I apologise for not writing as much in November, this was due to exams. The exam system is different here in France and I’d like to take the time now to explain the assessment method and how to go about revising. Okay, so first of all the first semester in France […]
